****** OILS V. REGULAR FLAVORS
The flavor oils are stronger than the regular flavors. For example, if making butter rum, I'll use about 1 teaspoon which is basically the bottle or a dram. If making cinnamon or spearmint with the oil, I'll use 1/2 the amount or about 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon.

I love how instead of pouring it out onto cookie sheets, and breaking it up with a butter knife like my Mom did. You use a mat and a pizza cutter!!! Very smart and a lot less waste.

Why does my candy start turn golden while cooking. It happens at around 160* and I have it on low heat?

[@andykaufman7686]

Mine is still gooey how long until it’s hard?

[@brittanykelley3201]

How much oil ?

[@cobanks]
